Pros

I love my co workers and schedules are very flexible.

Cons

New trial policy of a suggested tip before tax printed on the guests check is reducing server tips by 20%. This means server salary's have dropped by 20%. If they value us they will remove it. Our competitors that put a suggested tip on the check calculate after tax and show 18%,20% and 22% values.

Great amenities at the support center, flexible work hours. Five-day casual dress recently implemented.

Cons

Corporate culture could use some modernization. Technology seems a step behind and working remotely isn't widely approved.
